View clinical trials related to Glycemic Index.
Filter by:he project aims to evaluate the glycemic index of different types of pasta with different formats and with different types of flour. In particular, we want to know the effect of the format and the different type of flour on the glycemic and insulinemic response. Specific objective 1: determination of the glycemic index of the product concerned. Specific objective 2: determination of the insulinemic index of the product concerned. Specific objective 3: determination of the pasta format and the type of flour with a lower glycemic and insulinemic index.
Worldwide, in terms of attributable deaths, the main intermediate risk factor for the development of cardiovascular diseases is systemic arterial hypertension, followed by overweight and sustained hyperglycemia. These factors have positively influenced public and private spending on health. The more robust studies showed that age is one of the main determinants of arterial stiffness. However, there is a possibility that other variables, such as elevated glucose levels, obesity, and systemic inflammation itself, as well as insulin resistance are important factors in this scenario. On the other hand, the measurement of the pulse wave velocity is widely acceptable for the evaluation of the arterial stiffness, inferring the cardiovascular risk in different populations. Since arterial stiffness is influenced by hemodynamic forces and inflammatory mediators, which may be related to sodium and glucose balance, it is necessary to evaluate whether a hypocaloric and low glycemic load diet, in a thesis that decreases lipid and inflammatory levels, may have favorable effects on pulse wave velocity in overweight adults.
